What the 'Experts' Say about Good and Just Teaching

Focusing on the Good

  • Start your focus on 'students in the margins'
  • The 'what' and 'how' of teaching is held to rigorous standards
  • Teachers have high expectations of all students
  • Teachers engage students in opportunities for critical questioning

(Cochran-Smith et al., 2009; Grant, 2012; Rose & Meyer, 2000)

Focusing on the Just

  • Recognition that there are disparities in educational opportunities, resources and achievement between marginalized students and their wealthier white counterparts
  • Engage in a critique of the universalist views of knowledge which do not adequately recognize the experiences and knowledge of marginalized groups
  • Provide curriculum and content that is both challenging and culturally sustaining
  • Practice democracy and engage in social activism in the classroom

(Cochran Smith et al., 2009; Grant, 2012)

Focusing on the People at the Intersection

  • Look deeply into you, who you are, what you value, what role you see yourself playing in the larger society and how your own traditions and experiences have influenced you
  • Be a 'friend of their minds' ('Make yourself a teacher, find yourself a friend,' Pirke Avot 1:6)
  • Find and surround yourself with others who will learn and grow with you and support you along your journey

(Grant, 2012)
